Fret size survey

[Guest]

What? No medium jumbo? Or is that fret size some marketing mumbo jumbo? (hahah pun)

No vintage for me thanks.

 

[redjackal]

don't you all find that jumbo are too big?
it's like....so BIG for me.

being fret 1 to fret 5. is so so so so far apart.
and so so so so so wide apart.

maybe i have small fingers :lol:

 

[hullabalooeeks]

i find that the bigger the fret wires the bigger the tone too.

The smaller, the more responsive.

What about u guys?

Sub, would Swee Lee be bringing in any fretless guitars in due time?

Its something I would really love to try.

an interesting proposition but from a commercial perspective, demand is limited... but they did have fretless basses.

Fretless...maybe...but then again, maybe not...played one at a friend's house before...didn't know what I was doing...guess it takes loadsa practise...

 

[subversion]

definitely need a more precise finger placements.

What? No triangle frets like the one that Ronni le Teckro uses? Infidel!!!

 

[nickyseow]

jihad..

fretless guitar feels like you're

a) playing slide guitar
b) playing a violin

it'll be cool to own a fretless guitar, but it aint practical, well, i cant see it to be practical that is.. haha

 

[ShredCow]

Seen Ron Thal play the fretless Vigier?

Amazing, just opens up a whole new dimension to guitaring.

 

[theblueark]

[edder]

[ShredCow]

only problem with the fanned frets system for me... no floyds...

 

[ciel]

novax is coolness.

 

[tany]

if they're fanned frets like that, they is the sound the same? how does it work? damn cool

 

[bin4christ]

the fretboard looks twisted..wont ther be buzzing?

Only advantage I can think of is lower tension; that probably has an effect on the tone. No idea how one play these basses. 8O Interesting...

 

[ciel]

ehhh... its a guitar its not a bass....... abeit a wider ranged guitar.
